How to Change Logseq Journal File Name to YYYY-DD-MM Format

Logseq by default creates files in the following format YYYY_MM_DD and you can change it to any format of choice.

I prefer YYYY-DD-MM file name. And recently, I've configured Logseq to create files in that format.

Here is how to do it.

Open the Logseq's Preference (you can press Cmd + , on MacOS to open it)

Depending on your preference, you can configure it at global level (Edit global config.edn) or local graph level (Edit config.edn)

Then you can configure it based on your preference

 ;; Default value: "yyyy_MM_dd"
 :journal/file-name-format "yyyy-MM-dd"

Happy configuring Logseq!
